Dwell was tasked with reimagining and elevating the experience of the existing retail center at Barkley Village - transforming it from a collection of destinations into a cohesive, walkable community hub. The masterplan strategically connects the established retail anchored by Haggen Fresh Market to the Regal Cinemas through the introduction of a mixed-use Main Street and a pedestrian-focused retail and restaurant village at the heart of the site. This new central spine creates energy, continuity, and a sense of place - drawing visitors through the development rather than simply to it.
By embracing the site’s existing pond as a defining amenity, the plan weaves water, landscape, and architecture together. The new village core and multifamily residences enjoy activated outdoor spaces, gathering areas, and scenic views that enhance both daily life and destination appeal. Organized yet fluid, the masterplan carefully balances pedestrian, vehicular, and service circulation to ensure seamless movement throughout the development. The result is a connected, experience-driven environment that strengthens Barkley Village’s identity while positioning it for long-term vitality.
